Stitch Studio brings the calm, focused joy of cross-stitch to your iPhone. Import any photo and watch it transform into a pattern you can complete - one satisfying stitch at a time. CREATE FROM ANYTHING Import any photo and convert it into a cross-stitch pattern. Adjust the resolution and palette size to control how detailed or minimal your design looks. Smarter palettes keep dark tones true - dark reds, navy blues, and browns stay as real colors instead of collapsing to black. Unlimited previews let you tune the settings and see the result before you commit to a new project. STITCH AT YOUR OWN PACE Your canvas zooms to four levels so you can work with fine detail or take in the whole picture. Swipe to fill cells, tap to place individual stitches, and undo by stroke or by single cell - whichever suits your style. Rich haptic feedback makes every stitch feel satisfying. Play one-handed with Left-Hand Mode, which flips the in-game controls to your other side in both portrait and landscape. Prefer a relaxed, mistake-free experience? Unlock EZ Mode with coins to skip wrong-color taps and stitch without ever placing an error cell - it stays unlocked for that image, even if you re-download or regenerate it. DESIGN PACKS Browse more than 80 curated packs of ready-to-stitch designs, with new ones added regularly - Midnight Cats, Pop Art, Interesting Portraits, Ancient Egypt, Mythical Creatures, Mushroom World, Landscapes, Cartoon Animals, and many more. Tap any design to view it full screen and swipe through the entire pack before you spend a thing. Mark your favorites, sort and filter your collection, and earn coins by completing projects to spend on new packs. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Each project tracks your time played, completion percentage, and stitch history. Earn XP as you stitch, level up, and hit milestones that reward bonus coins. When a project is finished, watch a full replay of every stitch animating into place in the exact order you placed them - then share it with anyone you like. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Stitch Studio is fully translated into German, Spanish, and French, from menus to in-game controls, so you can stitch in the language you are most comfortable with. MADE TO RELAX Everything in Stitch Studio is designed to be calming and distraction-free. A redesigned Settings screen puts every option within reach, with clear info buttons that explain each one and easy-to-grab sliders with satisfying haptic ticks. Works in portrait and landscape, with configurable haptic intensity. Automatic iCloud sync keeps your coins, level, stats, and projects backed up across devices and re-installs. Free to download with no ads and no subscriptions. Create one custom design per day for free, and earn coins by completing projects. Coin packs are available if you would rather not wait - but nothing in the app is ever locked behind them.
